One of the things that annoys me the most is how one country is so violently against another country's sport. I get sick and tired of the way people ‘put down' American football. I hate the way Americans ‘put down' soccer, it bothers me to no end. The truth is all sports have their merits, there's a reason why they got popular or else they wouldn't exist. Most people think their sport is the best, not because they have any real evidence or argument, but because they were born where they were born and believe it because they grew up their whole lives around that particular sport. I have a whole lot more to say on this subject.
